> What’s your opinion of cookie dialogs on every web app? That’s the direct result of the web being an open space that is regulated by governments rather than Apple.

No. They're both the same thing. One entity deciding a policy that is not in the best interest of the participants in the ecosystem.

Right but that’s what people are asking for. They just want the entity to be their respective governments instead of Apple.

It’s worth noting that if the EU or the US decide to regulate app stores, so will all the repressive regimes around the world.

Not the same, regulating economy != deciding which apps allowed in store. We want governments to govern, as in set rules of engagement: break up monopolies. We don't want governments to run app stores, we want app stores not to be monopolies and run by any party able to do so.
